21. CLIVE STAPLES ("C.S.") LEWIS - Writer And Christian Apologist,1898-1963. Short biography of CS Lewis, author of the Chronicles of Narnia. http://www.ulsterhistory.co.uk/cslewis.htm

[Home] [The History of Blue Plaques] [Existing Plaques] [Ongoing Projects] ... [Events Archive] Clive Staples ("C.S.") Lewis Author and Critic Lewis was born in Dundela Avenue, Strandtown, Belfast and baptised in St Mark's, Dundela, by his grandfather, Thomas Hamilton, who was rector there. In 1905 the family moved to "Little Lea" on the Circular Road, which his father had built; it is the location of the wardrobe which plays such an important role in his children's stories, The Chronicles of Narnia. The house however is privately owned and not accessible to the public. Lewis was educated in England, at Malvern College and University College, Oxford, his education being interrupted by military service during the First World War when he was wounded at the battle of Arras. On his return to university he graduated brilliantly and became Fellow and Tutor at Magdalen College (he later moved to Cambridge as Professor of Medieval and Renaissance Literature). Perhaps his best-known academic book is The Allegory of Love (about medieval literature), but he reached a wider audience through works of Christian apology like The Screwtape Papers and radio broadcasts on the same subject. The Narnia stories, originally composed for World War Two evacuees, brought him great success - although his friend J.R.R. Tolkien, author of The Lord Of The Rings, did not like them! In his later years he married the American Joy Gresham, who in 1960 died of cancer; his autobiography Surprised By Joy is partly inspired by her. The play and film Shadowlands tell a somewhat romanticised version of their story. Lewis died in 1963 and is buried at Holy Trinity Church, Haddington, Oxford.

Lewis (1898-1963) One of the truly towering intellects of the twentieth century, Clive Staples Lewis was a Christian apologist, moral mythologist, scholar and writer, born in Belfast, N. Ireland. Lewis taught at Magdalene College, Oxford from 1925-54 and from 1954 at Cambridge. His time at Oxford brought him into an association with some of his peers, who gathered regularly in their rooms or at local public houses to recite their personal work to each other. This group, who came to be known as the Inklings, included J. R. R. Tolkien and Charles Williams. The central event in Lewis' life was his conversion to Christianity, a process which occupied the years 1929-31, and which provided the foundation for all his later work. Lewis documents his spiritual odyssey in the book, "Surprised By Joy" (1955). He came to the attention of the public as a result of a series of radio broadcasts during World War II, in which his ability to present deep Christian truth in a simple and engaging way won him wide popularity with the listening audience. That popularity was not shared, however, by his academic colleagues, who were jealous of his success. " The Screwtape Letters " (1942), a correspondence between two of Hell's demons named Screwtape and Wormwood, is his best-known book.

C.S. Lewis (1898-1963) General Teachings/Activities - C.S. Lewis was born in Belfast, Ireland, the younger of two sons; he was named Clive Staples Lewis. He claimed to have been converted to Christianity in 1931 and was, as he put it: "A very ordinary layman of The Church of England." (Lewis was a member of the apostate Church of England, an institution whose history is based largely on theological compromise with Rome.) He had no theological training. He was the author of 40-plus books which included poems, novels, children's books, science fiction, theology, literary criticisms, educational philosophy, and an autobiography. From 1954 until his death, he was professor of medieval and Renaissance English at Cambridge University. Today, C.S. Lewis is known as a distinguished literary scholar and Christian apologist. Mere Christianity (a book upon which the beliefs of many professing Christians are based) is considered one of the most profound and logically irrefutable writings on Christian apologetics. Nevertheless, even this book is fraught with theological error. (For example, the concept of "mere Christianity" means agreeing on a small common denominator of Christian truth, while tolerating great areas of disagreement.) In 1993

Indeed, his published output sometimes appears to be the work of at least three different authors. One was a serious scholar who, as a young man, won top honors for his study of classics, philosophy, and English. His book The Allegory of Love (1936) remains a landmark in the criticism of medieval and Renaissance literature. This was also the Lewis who, according to academic legend, had read every book published in the English language during the 16th century. A second C.S.

Now for a chamber dim, a pillow meet For slumbers deep as death, a faultless sheet, Cool, white and smooth. So may I reach the hall With poppies strewn where sleep that is so dear With magic sponge can wipe away an hour Or twelve and make them naught. Why not a year, Why could a man not loiter in that bower Until a thousand painless cycles wore, And thenwhat if it held him evermore?

However, Lewis still shunned his childhood Christian faith. In 1929, he became a theist, saying "In. . .1929 I gave in, and admitted that God was God, and knelt and prayed..." But Lewis would not become a Christian until a few years later. In 1931, Lewis, J.R.R. Tolkien, and Hugo Dyson had a long, deep conversation about Christianity. The next day Lewis accepted Christ. In Mere Christianity he said, "When we set out [by motorcycle to the Whipsnade Zoo] I did not believe that Jesus Christ was the Son of God, and when we reached the zoo I did."

Along the way he describes his family life in Ireland, his misery at boarding school, education at Oxford, service in WWI, and return to Oxford, where his friendship with JRR Tolkien (who shared his love of Norse mythology) helped him to finally quench his lifelong Sehnsucht (longing), in Lewis's case a longing to discern the hidden something that we perceive lurking behind the physical world that we observe. One such instance occurs when he is reading poetry : I had become fond of Longfellow's "Saga of King Olaf": fond of it in a casual, shallow way for its story and vigorous rhythms.

Home Email This Article Print C. S. Lewis: The Problem of Pain JACEK BACZ C.S. Lewis Known to his readers as a philosopher, a Christian apologist, a science fiction writer, an author of children's stories and a literary critic, C. S. Lewis has also been introduced to the general public as a romantic sufferer. In Shadowlands , movie audiences around the world watch a refined, upper-middle aged Oxford fellow theorize on pain, fall in late love with a witty, slightly annoying American divorcee with two children, and go through the agony of grief after her death. Whatever it takes to speculate on pain, it takes a lot more, it seems, to live it. And it takes C. S. Lewis to write competently on both. Born in Belfast, Northern Ireland, in 1898, of an Irish mother and a Welsh father, Clive Staples Lewis served as a Fellow and Tutor at Magdalen College, Oxford for more than thirty years. Yet, the Oxford establishment was slow to catch up with the fame of the author of "that Christian stuff", and, in 1954, Lewis accepted a Chair of Medieval and Renaissance Literature at Cambridge, where he worked until his death on 22nd November 1963. Young Clive Staples was gifted with a lucid mind, a fact not fully manifest until his adult years. Still, at the age of four he properly discerned that people had names and declared he would rather be called 'Jack'. As Jack grew older, not unnaturally, he began to lose his never-robust Christian faith, a process set in motion by an early death of his mother and completed under the influence of his tutor, W. T. Kirkpatrick, a brilliant and compelling atheist logician. All through his twenties Lewis remained an informed and committed atheist. Then, at the age of 31, as he explains in his autobiography, he converted to Christianity: "In the Trinity Term of 1929 I gave in, and admitted that God was God, and knelt and prayed; that night a most dejected and reluctant convert in all England."
